Quibabad. 
The mint of Qila’ Qutbabad appears only on gold coins of 
Qutbu-d-din Mubarak and in no case before 718. Hitherto it 
has been supposed that this was merely a name given to Dehli, 
t as the capital styled in the earlier issues of that king 
Hazrat Dehli or Daru-l-Mulk Dehli became in 718 Hazrat 
718 Qutbu-d-din proceeded southwards in consequence of in- 
surrections. We are told that he recaptured and restored 
the fort of Deogir, in which he erected a great mosque. It 
would be only in keeping with the character of this vainglori- 
ous monarch to assume that he gave his own name to the 
town bearing a Hindu appellation which had for a time the 
honour of sheltering the self-styled Khalifa of Islam. 
Raisin. 
he fortress of Raisin in Malwa was captured by Sher 
Shah in 950, this exploit being accompanied by a shameful 
massacre of the garrison after capitulation on terms. A mint 
was established here for silver and copper, and this was main- 
tained by Islam Shah, after whose death the place was lost to 
the Dehli kingdom and incorporated in Malwa by Baz Baha - 
dur. 
Rantambhor. 
The celebrated fortress of Rantambhor was captured by 
Shamsu-d-din Altamsh, and thereafter it appears frequently 
in the annals of the Dehli Sultans. It did not, however, take 
Sher Shah in 949. It was then assigned in jagtr to his eldest 
son, “Adil Khin, but its history as a mint appears to have 
been brief. The rupees of Rantambhor are very scarce, and 
no copper coin has yet been published. Coins of Islam Shah 
from this mint have never been reported. 
Rasulpir urf ? 
A rare rupee of Sher Shah was struck at Rasilpur, a place 
which is unmentioned in the histories, and unfortunately can- 
the ruin of the old town of Bihar. This occurred in 948 
There is a Rasalpur less than twenty miles upstream from the 
modern town of Patna, known as Rasilpir Maner. The situa- 
tion of this place agrees better with the account given in the
